Sleeping Beauty

By Clifton Amateur Dramatic Society (CADS)

After the malevolent Fairy Queen Somnia is snubbed by the King, she bestows a terrible curse on his daughter, the beautiful Princess Briar Rose. Before the girl reaches her eighteenth birthday she will prick her finger and die. Thankfully, her good Fairy Godmother is able to change the curse to merely fall into an endless sleep, unless awakened by true love’s kiss…

Only the dashing antics of the party-boy Prince Florizel and his ragtag collection of loyal friends and allies can save the Princess from her slumber. But will it be enough to overcome the evil machinations of Somnia?

Join CADS this December for their first ever Pantomime! Featuring buckets of slapstick humour, a man in a dress, thigh slaps galore and innuendo by the cartload, Sleeping Beauty promises to be a side-splitting, funny-bone-tickling, festival of hilarity for all the family to enjoy.

Evening shows at 7:30 pm on the 14th, 15th and 16th December with an additional 2 pm Saturday matinee.
